I'm trying to get started with pbforth, but not finding it easy. While I
know no forth, I'm happy with RPN (long-time HP calculator user) and
stacks, dictionaries and defining words (ex-Postscript programmer). What
I'm struggling with is getting as far as programming it.

Keep digging. Try using a PC first and get that working.

I've got as far as 2400 baud, 8 data, 1 stop, no parity, no handshaking.
That seems to work (teh only place I've found it documented is in
this newsgroup - under discussion of teh lego remote). I can type stuff
and get answers.

so, my questions:
Should XON/XOFF handshaking work?

Yep.

While I'm at it, can anyone suggest any tutorial stuff?

Sounds like pbForth is picking up steam again. Good. It's emails like
this that keep me motivated to keep development going.

I'm just back from a vacation, so I'll do the best I can

Cheers, Ralph
